I was trying to use up some of my left over scraps yesterday and made another herringbone background with strips of paper from the Echo Park Winter Wishes pad. I love the plum and blue colors in this paper pad. I decided to pull out my Unity Winter Joy itty bitty set and make a snowman to put onto this wintry card. Unfortunately I don't have Copics that closely match this paper, but I used what I had in shades of purple and blue, adding some sparkly Stickles to the snow on the ground. (click to enlarge photo) I punched and layered some snowflakes and added mini brads to the centers and called this one done.
I'm entering this card into the Unity Friday Friends with Flair challenge,
as well as the Snippets Playground #134 challenge.
Thanks for stopping by today and make it a great Friday!

Wow! You're a great stripper!... um... you do great strip work? um... You rock the herringbone technique! I really like the background to this card. It gives is such a great wintery feel. The blues and purples are awesome.

I love you cute snowman. So bight and happy looking. great colors too!
Eek! He is just adorable, Carol! One of my very favorite color combos for winter!
Love your herringbone.
This is such a great way to use up scraps. I always have those 1/2 inch strips from cutting 6x6 pads to fit 5 1/2 inch cards...I save them and never know what to do with them!
Great card, Carol!

These cool guys are such fun. Love that paper pack (have some of it too, it was one of the few blue packs I could find that year!). Your copic colors were great with the papers, and really defined that paper with the snowflakes you added. Terrific card, and just right for a hot afternoon. Hope I can join you in the Playground. TFS & happy wkend
You always do such a fabulous job using that technique for your background...you've created a really cute card with that adorable image too.
Love your icy background.
What a fabulous card Carol. Love it. And what a GREAT use of snippets.
